Parents

Seeing your children attend college is a significant milestone — a time of pride, excitement and opportunity. The experiences that shape your child’s education happen both inside and outside of the classroom. At the UW, every corner is abuzz with interactive learning opportunities that are an integral part of the Husky Experience. These experiences connect students to one another, broaden their perspectives and prepare them to be thoughtful and engaged citizens.

You can help foster these experiences by giving through the UW Parents’ Program. It is a great way to enrich the education of your child — and of all students — at the UW.

Husky parents make a difference

Every year thousands of UW parents support specially selected funds that benefit all students. Parents have supported technological upgrades and new study spaces, and have created the UW Parents Collections and Programs Endowed Fund to support UW Libraries’ efforts to acquire material specifically for undergraduates.

You can support this year’s project or you can direct your gift to your child’s school, college or program. Gifts can be made online, by phone or by mail. The UW also welcomes gifts of stock or securities and gifts made through matching gift programs. To learn more about how to give, contact 1-877-UW-GIFTS (877-894-4387)
